Lovely Monday morning here in San Antonio... My nasturtiums are flourishing in the front yard, and the boy's birthday is just around the corner. (As you long time readers know, I mostly only buy new books on special occasions, and this year the birthday purchases are Uncle, The Wonderful O and the most definitely not vintage third book in the Hiccup series, How to Speak Dragonese.) That said, today is a great day to give away this vintage copy of Petunia by Roger Duvoisin that's been staring me in the face all weekend. I know I've given it away before, but it's one of those books I can't say no to when I find it. To be entered to win this gently-loved but still awesome hardcover, simply comment on this post before 11:59 PM on Sunday night, April 25. A winner will be selected at random and announced the next morning.As for last week's give of Sir Toby Jingle's Beastly Journey... the winner is Tracysweetangl. E-mail me at webe(at)soon(dot)com with your info and the book will be yours. Thanks for reading gang. See you in a bit.
Love this one!

ReplyDeleteOh wow! One of my all-time faves. My kids would LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great book!
ReplyDeleteA second chance? Lovely! Only problem is I am going out and won't be back in time to check up on the result :(
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this book! I read it with my 1st graders when I go over book care at the beginning of the school year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! Loved this one as a kid & would love to share it with my children!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great book. I haven't read that one in a long time!
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, I don't need a copy of the book, so please leave me out of the drawing. I would hate to take it away from someone who really wants it.
ReplyDeleteWe would love to have this--thanks for sharing. Happy Birthday to your little guy. I love birthday books.
ReplyDeleteWe have this out from the library right now and my kids adore it. Would love to have a copy of our own.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with this one, but I'd love to win it!

A perfect choice for a give-away. We have many of his books (he's fast become my favorite illustrator) but am missing this one...fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteGotta love Petunia. Haven't seen it since my own childhood.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have this lovely in our collection but would love to. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't know this one but would love to learn about it. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteadorable book!
ReplyDeletePetunia is wonderful and the Happy Lion and most Roger Duvoisin books, great choice.todba
ReplyDeleteCan you believe we've never read "Petunia"?? We do enjoy Duvoisin though! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI love Duvoisin! This would be a great addition to my children's books collection...
ReplyDeleteWe love checking this treasure out from the library. It would be fun to own...
ReplyDeletePetunia is a classic. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteGosh...this would be a fantabulous win!
ReplyDeleteWould love this book for my little bookworm Katie (who also loves to chase the geese at our local park)
ReplyDeletePlease enter me ~ this looks like such a cute book!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this one either (what a sad childhood I had! Good thing I didn't know it!), so I went and read your review. It sounds wonderful. Thanks so much for the chance.
ReplyDeleteHi - just found your website when looking for the book "Tell me some more..." One of the best things about becoming pregnant was realizing I could read all my favorite books to my child (due date 4/28/10, so wish me luck! :)), and Petunia is one of my favorite books! My mom still jokes that I hoard more books than I read, though I think that's unfair ;) You have such a great site - thanks for keeping it up!
ReplyDeleteLoved this book when I was a kid. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteCute, and we don't have it!!
ReplyDeleteim sure my daugther would love this book.
